Who we can support
We support people who are currently on a compulsory treatment order, either in the community or as an inpatient.
These include:
- an assessment order
- a court assessment order
- a temporary treatment order
- a treatment order.
Our service can also support people:
- who are voluntary inpatients but who are at risk of being placed on a compulsory order
- in the first month after discharge from compulsory treatment
- who have been found unfit to stand trial or not guilty on the grounds of mental impairment and are being held in a designated mental health service
- on ‘secure treatment orders’ – who have been sentenced for an offence and are assessed as requiring compulsory treatment while they are in custody
- on supervision orders who are assessed as requiring compulsory mental health treatment.
